Keith Barry shares father’s dying wish to be brought back from the dead on upcoming tour

Renowned entertainer and hypnotist Keith Barry is embarking on a new tour in January, but this time with a unique twist. The mentalist will be fulfilling his father’s dying wish by bringing his ashes on stage at every show. This unconventional request came from Keith’s father, Ken, shortly before his passing earlier this year.

Ken Barry, a well-known figure in his own right as one of the co-founders of Tipperary Crystal and Smart Telecom, had a quirky sense of humor and a fascination with Keith’s darker performances. He specifically requested that Keith bring his ashes on tour and even attempt to contact him through a séance, despite both of them being skeptics of such practices.

Keith, known for his skepticism towards psychics and communicating with the dead, acknowledges the uniqueness of his father’s request. He plans to use the opportunity not only to fulfill Ken’s wishes but also to offer audiences a glimpse into his personal life and the bond he shared with his father. The emotional rawness of performing so soon after Ken’s passing adds an element of vulnerability and authenticity to the show.

The show, aptly named “Unhinged,” aims to push boundaries and challenge perceptions. Keith intends to create an immersive experience for the audience, blending moments of laughter with ones of unease and mystery. This includes incorporating hypnosis back into his routines, a feature that younger audiences may not have seen before.

By using humor and unexpected skits, Keith hopes to provide much-needed levity in a world that often feels heavy and serious. Audience members can expect to be surprised, entertained, and perhaps even moved by the unusual and poignant tribute to Ken Barry. The show promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions, from laughter to tears, as Keith navigates the delicate balance between honoring his father’s memory and engaging his audience in a truly unforgettable experience.

Tickets for Keith Barry’s nationwide tour, “Unhinged – 25 Years Inside Your Minds,” are now available for purchase. Attendees can anticipate an evening of mind-bending entertainment, heartfelt storytelling, and above all, a celebration of the unique bond between a father and his son.
